On the evening of December 12th, the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade and the People's Committee of Ba Vi District opened the exhibition fair for rural industrial products and OCOP products in Ba Vi District.

The attendees included Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thang – Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade, Mr. Trinh Quoc Dat – Chairman of the Vietnam Craft Village Association, Mr. Do Manh Hung, Deputy Secretary – Chairman of the People's Committee of Ba Vi District, representatives of relevant departments and agencies, rural industrial establishments, export enterprises, associations, industry associations, and traditional craft villages in Ba Vi District.

The fair features 120 booths and display areas showcasing production activities, rural industrial products, OCOP products, traditional craft villages, and key products from Ba Vi District and other districts in the city.

In his opening speech, Mr. Hoang Minh Lam, Director of the Center for Industrial Promotion and Industrial Development Consultancy (Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade), stated that the exhibition fair is organized to support businesses and production establishments in promoting their products in connection with tourism activities and preserving local traditional culture.

The fair promises to be a place where consumers can access outstanding, typical, and strong products from traditional craft villages in Ba Vi District specifically and from districts and towns in the city in general, contributing to strengthening the connection between producers, distributors, and consumers.

With the criteria of "one product per commune," in recent years, Ba Vi has selected many OCOP products based on traditional, distinctive products that meet consumer tastes. The rural industrial products of the district have played an important role in building new rural areas, increasing stable income for the people. As a result, the socio-economic life of the residents has prospered, contributing to reducing the poverty rate in the district.

The exhibition fair for rural industrial products and OCOP products in Ba Vi District in 2024 also contributes to raising awareness among rural industrial establishments in the city about the design industry and cultural industries, helping to develop the city's socio-economic development; connecting and expanding business cooperation between organizations, experts, and domestic and international businesses in the field of handicrafts.

The fair takes place from December 12th to December 16th, at Quang Oai Stadium, Tay Dang Town, Ba Vi District.
